Happy Halloween!

This is Chugs Halloween 'thing' it is a devil, you can't see the little tail behind her head, it has two eyes and black horns. I did not buy this for her my mother-in-law did a couple years ago (Chugs was her first 'grandbaby') if you see pictures of Chugs in any sweaters etc.. it's because she already owns them not because I bought them for her, and sometimes I put them on her in the winter time because she is half chihuahua and gets cold fast.

Ghosts of Halloween Pasts....

Well this one is easy! My mom does not like halloween and therefore we kids never had much fun! growing up we would all be ghosts in a bed sheet, just plain, nothing special like they have nowadays and I even think we used a pillowcase for our candy! no special bag etc.... we also stopped going trick-or-treating when we were 10 I think, then our church started having a halloween party on the same night so that is what the younger kids did! I was sad when we had to stop trick-or-treating, so much candy!!!

I will not deprive my kids of the experience of dressing up I think it is so fun and also of going trick-or-treating, especially when they are little, I am glad that my church had a party to go to because depending on where you live halloween night can be a not so safe night.

And though it's sad to say, please don't come to my house we don't hand out candy, mostly because I'm selfish and want it (so then I'll buy the gross kind) or because we live in a basement and nobody comes back there anyways!!!!!

I've never been to an adult halloween party I think it would be so fun to dress-up with my husband, another time, another place maybe.

It's been awhile....

It's been quite awhile since I've posted, it's hard when you don't feel good and then it seems like that's all I've been posting about lately! But That has been my life, last week was really bad, I really couldn't breathe well, even though it said I was getting enough oxygen I just felt like I couldn't breathe, I also had fevers which I hate fevers to no end they just make you feel so bad! I honestly felt like my time was up and I am okay with that I really am, I struggled with it a few months ago and sometimes I have felt like it will be alright and I will live for a couple more years, but right now I am calm and peaceful about it, I'm not giving up, I just don't see how my body can keep going when it can't breathe! Of course I get all sad and yes cry when I think about leaving my husband, dogs, family, but I know that heaven is a great place to be! And with the time difference I will only be without them for a short time! I do feel bad for my husband though since he will have to go on without me but he must, and I expect him to make the most out of himself. I also thought of my new blog friends but just hope that the short time I have been able to make friends that I will have left a good and uplifting impression on, to keep going and 'endure joyfully to the end' (Elder Uchtdorf, Oct. '07).

Today:
Well I have been trying really hard lately to work on me, my faith, becoming a disciple, I am currently reading a talk by Elder Maxwell, studying that as well as the scriptures, and today (I have felt much better today by the way) I received a strong impression, which as I'm typing don't think appropriate to share right now but I will say that it has left me with high hopes for the future, I just need to continue to work on my faith and work on becoming a better disciple of Christ. Sometimes my husband and I have thought that as with the story from the bible of the man born blind so that the hand of the Lord might be shown that maybe that is happening to me because really that is the only reason I am still here, medically there is nothing they can or really are doing (except pumping me full of antibiotics) that is keeping me here and I just need to have greater faith in the Lords plan for me.

Finally dog pics....

The promised dog pictures finally! sorry it took so long, sometimes I just don't want to download and then upload!




If Chugs isn't sitting on my lap (rare) when Texas comes over to sit on my lap (rare) then Chugs will come over and try to sit on my lap, she is so jealous or something! Poor Texas is just so nice and will then sit next to me if Chugs is in the way, so when this happens I either push Chugs off or put Chugs on the side because Texas doesn't come and sit on my lap very often! And Chugs is already a spoiled princess!

Tuesday Tell All...

This week is "What are things that scare you most?"

Honestly right now it is not being able to breathe, being short of breath and not being able to catch it again (happens alot). Also although it's not that I am scared but kinda of dying! It's not that I'm nervous about what happens or where we go and I sure can't wait because I'll be done with this body! But at the same time I love my husband and my dogs and I love this new world of blogging and the new friends I've made, I really do like it here and really hope there are similar things in heaven!!! But atleast I have more friends on the other side right? I do have to say though you really can't live like Tim McGraw says 'live like you are dying' because if you did you would be decluttering your house and then have nothing left! I will be leaving a lot of stuff behind, poor hubby.

I almost didn't do this I hope it isn't too 'down' I just want to be honest. Now on to happier things, because I don't like to dwell on the sad! I took pictures of the dogs today both were curled up on my lap (if you can believe it) but I really don't want to download them and then post I would rather read blogs so I will do it tomorrow, sorry!

Interesting finds....

Do you use your left brain or your right brain more often? Click on the link and watch the image and see if it is moving clockwise or counter-clockwise and then the site will tell you if you are right or left brained and what that means. I am right-brained.

Also my friend is using these diapers, thought I'd just pass them along, very environment-safe and eliminates the trash and stink problem of diapers! check them out:

That's all for now!

More Cards...

I actually felt good today and even made some cards! I got some orange cards from Kasi my swap buddy and then just decorated them, I am a little proud I feel I am getting a little better, the letters were rub on with a little wooden stick and that took awhile to master, I was pressing too hard at the beginning and breaking the sticker, but I liked the look, I just stuck stuff on and I hope they don't look too dorky, I am way behind on Thank You cards so I am finally sending those out! And of course, just a few 'Just Because' cards! Here's to a good day! This is what my dogs did while I made cards...
